Local skiers are training for Olympic-level competition Beck, 17: ‘I have only one life to live...’ By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE PLACID — With many millions of viewers tuned into the heart-stopping action of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver this week, two teenagers from northern Warren County are watching the skiing events with keen personal interest. Andrew Beck of Lake George and Aaron Griffen of Chestertown are taking a close look at the Olympic downhill ski racers, examining the competition in detail, evaluating the skiers’ techniques. Beck and Griffen are members of the ski teams at the National Sports Academy in Lake Placid, which prepares athletes for the Olympic games and other world-class competition in winter sports. During the Olympics, however, Beck and Griffen haven’t had much spare time to cheer on the 17 Olympic athletes that are recent graduates of the National Sports Academy, because they’ve been training hard, they said in interviews this week. Both have qualified for the Eastern Cup Finals at Okemo Mountain, set for next week, and considering their racing records, they should fare well. Both have been committed to ski racing for years. Beck, 17-year-old son of Dave and Debbie Beck of Lake George, is a high school senior at the National Sports Academy. He’s now completing his fourth full school-year at the institution. His daily winter weekday regimen includes skiing from 9 a.m. to noon on the slopes of Whiteface, then intense academic studies from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and traveling for skiing competition most weekends. Any spare hours are spent

Aaron Griffen, who grew up in Chestertown, careens downhill in the 2009 Scottish National Championship ski races held in Three Valleys, France. Griffen is continuing his racing efforts this year earning points with an eye on competing in top national and international competitions. With his sights set on competing in the Olympics, Griffen has been skiing alongside another ski enthusiast Andrew Beck of Lake George — both are training at the National Sports Academy in Lake Placid, which has more than a dozen of its alumni vying for medals this year in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Community embraces Oscar’s, an Adirondack landmark By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — With a show of overwhelming support, people from all over the region showed up to hail the re-emergence of a landmark Adirondack-area enterprise, which has rebounded from a fire that consumed their enterprise less than five months ago. Saturday, Oscar ’s Smoke House held a grand re-opening ceremony, and an estimat-

ed 2,000 people throughout the day attended to celebrate. Area residents and visitors not only witnessed a ribbon-cutting, but took tours of the new plant, tasted samples of smoked meats and cheeses, greeted employees, and bought food to take home. While many thought the celebration of Oscar ’s return was over late Saturday, the crowds resumed Sunday with nearly as many people as attended Saturday’s official opening. But the show of support wasn’t over, as

record-breaking business continued Monday, Oscar ’s owner Jerry Quintal said early this week. “The number of people who showed up and wished us well was just overwhelming,” he said. “The amount of business we did was staggering — we set all sorts of records as far as retail sales go.” Quintal credited the newspaper and television coverage for drawing thousands into Warrensburg over the weekend. Area newspapers, including the Adirondack Journal and The Chronicle gave Oscar ’s

reopening extensive front-page advance coverage. Six television stations broadcast the event. PBS attended Saturday, and returned on Sunday to film a mini-documentary of Oscar ’s rise from the ashes, Quintal said. “We couldn’t have gotten better advertising through the media,” Quintal said. “The press coverage we’ve had has been unbelievable.” Saturday’s celebration started off with hundreds gathering for the 9 a.m. ribbon

Stewart’s site rezoning headed for public hearing By Brendan Manley

On Feb. 10, local residents crowded into the Warrensburg Town Hall, and nearly a dozen offered their views of the proposed construction of a Stewart’s on the corner of Main St. and Stewart Farrar Ave. — the site presently occupied by a Hudson Headwaters Health Network administrative building and parking lot. The development requires a re-zoning of a portion of the land to commercial use. Eileen Frasier, owner of Seasons Bed & Breakfast across Main St. from the proposed new Stewart’s store, aired concerns about traffic, noise and intrusion into a historic neighborhood. “Please don’t make a hasty decision,” Frasier said. “The board should take the time to listen to the citizens — remember that just as easily as we all voted you in, you can be voted out, if you don’t listen.” Seated beside Emerson House Bed & Breakfast owner Faith Buck, Frasier said real estate consultants have estimated that her property value could be cut up to 50 percent should the Stewart’s build there. Others, including resident Tina Sackman, echoed similar fears. “When I first moved here, I loved all the antique shops —

denpubs@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — A recent town planning board meeting that was expected to host heated commentary on a proposal to rezone an uptown plot for a new Stewart’s convenience store didn’t live up to its billing — board members told the assembled crowd the panel wouldn’t be taking any comment. The townspeople, who have concerns over the introduction of retail activity into a historic district, were told to return for a public hearing now set for 7 p.m. March 16. But their ire had already been unloaded on the town board at its prior February meeting, when the citizens aired concerns about traffic, safety and quality of life repercussions of the proposed zoning change.

the town has such charm. Do we really need six gas stations?” she said. “Let’s be more than just a pass-through on the way to Gore — can’t we be a little more creative and look for other options?” Board member Bryan Rounds suggested some alternatives to Stewart’s development on the disputed plot. “Personally, I’d like to see them work out a deal with Potter ’s Diner, for the existing Stewart’s,” Rounds said. “But we have hoops we have to jump through, according to procedure. This buys you all some time, to put pressure in the proper places.” Rounds was apparently speaking of the more rigorous environmental review necessary for rezoning land in a statedesignated historic district. Monday, the Warrensburg Town Board had substantially filled out the required “long-form” state Environmental Quality Review evaluation for the re-zoning. But residents opposing the rezoning weren’t daunted as of this week, as their petitions had gathered about 350 signatures.

WARRENSBURG — Local students acting in the upcoming drama production Evita will be featured at Grace’s Restaurant in a fundraiser breakfast Saturday Feb. 27. The student actors and actresses of Warrensburg High School will be presenting songs and dialogue from the famed musical, and will likely be in costume as well. The event, which includes an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, is set for 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Grace’s Restaurant is located on Hudson St. next to the Floyd Bennett Memorial Bandstand in uptown Warrensburg. The breakfast event is to raise money for the drama club to fund their production which is slated for March 25 through 27. The musical, which began as a rock opera and evolved into a musical in the late 1970s, was recast as a film in 1996 starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas. The musical focuses on the life of Argentine political leader Eva Perón, the con-

Planning Board to tackle Stewart’s concept

he Warrensburg Town Planning board met Feb. 16 to discuss the expansion of a storage facilities adjacent to Warrensburg Car Care, and to accept an application by Stewart’s Shops for a zoning change. Car Care owner Fred Witz was granted permission to add on to an existing storage building at 3895 Rte 9, constructing 40 storage units. The town Planning Board voted to approve Witz’s site plan. The proposed zoning change of property at Main St. and Stewart Farrar Ave. to accommodate a relocated Stewart's convenience store was tabled until March 3. The planning board has several questions that need to be addressed before determining their recommendation, which they are scheduled to give to the town board after that meeting. Hudson Headwaters Health Network, the property owner, and Stewart’s Shops have until this date to answer questions presented by the planning board. The town board is holding a public hearing at 7 p.m. Thursday March 11 to hear citizens’ views about the zoning change — from Office/Multi-Family to Retail/Commercial at the Stewart Farrar Ave. site, which would allow the construction of a Stewart’s store there. The board is empowered to make their decision on March 11 after hearing the public comment.

Plaza Salon to move, welcomes new stylists In a month or so, the Plaza Salon is moving from its first floor location next to the River Street Athletic Center to the second floor of the River Street Plaza. The new space is accessible by elevator and is much bigger. The stylists will include Salon owner Amber Grace, stylist Melissa Kuzmiak and renowned stylist Michelle Levitsky, owner of Absolute Hair. After spending nearly nine years on Main Street, Levitsky said she is enthusiastic about joining the Plaza Salon. "We are all looking forward to working together,” Levitsky said.

WARRENSBURG • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 3

Absolute Hair has recently employed two other stylists, Gigi Edmunds-Perry, and Sarah Morgan. Gigi moved on to work with her mother in January, and Morgan, sister of Michelle Levitsky, is currently working at Cabello Salon in Saratoga and plans to join The Plaza Salon part time. At the Plaza Salon, all of the stylists will be working independently. As a group, they feel that continuing education is key to offering the best services at affordable prices, Levitsky said. In several weeks, the Plaza Salon stylists will be attending the International Beauty Show in New York City, and they are making plans for monthly in-salon education sessions. The salon will offer manicures and European-style pedicures as well using natural vegan products that are formaldehyde free. Beginning April 1, the new salon space will be open Monday through Saturday by appointment. Call 623-2531 for more information. Amber Grace and Mark Grace are now in the process of designing and constructing the new salon. Mark Grace’s River Street Plaza offers a fully renovated historic property complete with glimpses into the town’s past, ample parking, easy elevator access, and the convenience of access to a variety of businesses in one location. See an upcoming issue of the Adirondack Journal for details regarding the salon’s Grand Opening open house. We hear Lizzy Keays, the incomparable restaurant at River Street Plaza, will be catering the event.

Carnival wraps up this weekend, features sled dog and car races LAKE GEORGE — This weekend the annual Lake George Winter Carnival will be wrapping up its 2010 month-long run with a brand-new signature event and a host of family oriented activities, Carnival organizers said Monday. Headlining the two-day winter festival — as long as there’s enough snow on the ground — will be the first annual Lake George Sanctioned Sled Dog Races, in which competitors earn points towards national and international championships. The races will be conducted both Saturday and Sunday by the New England Sled Dog Club, beginning at 9 a.m. both days, according to NESDC member Rainer Wischinski of southern New Hampshire. That is, if there’s 8 inches of snow accumulated on the ground by Wednesday mid-afternoon, he said. Tuesday at the same time, forecasts predicted that snowfall would make it happen, Carnival official Kathi Kokalas said. “At this point, I think it’s definitely a ‘go’,” she said. Wischinski said he looked forward to his club’s debut at Lake George, recalling a race his group held about eight years ago in Warrensburg. The club attends races all over the Northeastern U.S. and across Canada. If snow falls as predicted, 30 or more sled dog teams will be competing in a dozen or so classes, Wischinski said. The races are to be held on the Warren County snowmobile trails in Lake George off Transfer Rd. and Rte. 9 near Northway Exit 21, Wischinski said. “We have quite some interest from competitors in coming to Lake George,” he said. “It’s a great area, and a great trail.” Also, Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club will be back to hold their sanctioned sports car ice races Saturday and Sunday on the surface of Lake George. The races evoke spectator adrenaline, with vehicles careening around curves, inches away from each other, spewing rooster-tails of ice-shards from beneath spinning tires. This longstanding races series features classic sports cars in various states of modification. Crowds of motor-sports enthusiasts enjoy not only the competition, but friendly chatting about the vehicles, their modifications and preparation for the races. Registration is at Longshots Restaurant. Also a treat for spectators on Saturday only will be a Skydiving Swoop Competition. Sunkiss Ballooning will have a "Fly Off" on Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 am, weather permitting. A Hot Air Balloon MoonGlow is also tentatively scheduled at dusk Saturday on the Lake, weather permitting. The Carnival’s annual Chili Cook Off will take place at noon Saturday near the Shepard's Park pier, and Rich Moran's Professional Scuba Center personnel will be performing ice diving demonstrations both days.

Those who seek participatory sports can enjoy trying their hand at Frisbee Golf, from noon to 2 p.m. both days — sponsored by Pottersville’s Natural Stone Bridges & Caves. Other events planned are tethered hot air balloon rides in the morning, hot air balloon "Walk-Abouts", children's activities and face painting, the latter located inside at King Neptune's, plus ATV hay rides, games on the ice, wood carving, and a children's petting zoo Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Both days, the daredevil snowmobile water skip will be

held at 2:30 p.m. followed by the ever-popular Polar Plunge at 3 p.m. To top off the conclusion of the Winter Carnival, a raffle drawing will be held at 3:30 p.m. Sunday for a 2010 Polaris 550 snowmobile. Raffle tickets are available at the Winter Carnival headquarters in Shepard's Park, and entrants do not have to be present to win. “We’ve had three incredible weekends of Winter Carnival activities so far this year, so join us this final weekend for 2010,” Kokalas said.

The large brass key fashioned by internationally renowned sculptor David Smith — a Bolton resident until his death in 1965 — was recently presented to the library by Smith’s daughter, Candida Smith, on behalf of the David Smith estate. David Smith made the key for Philbert Ainsworth upon his arrival home from World War II. The key was presented to Philbert decades ago at a party held at The Hollywood, which is now Frederick's Restaurant. The key is inscribed with the phrase, “Mayor of Tic Ridge” which refers to the hill the Ainsworth’s lived on. Ironically, Philbert Ainsworth was best friends with Megan Baker's father.

•100 Years Ago – February, 1910• Old fashioned winter

he morning of Feb. 25, 1910 was the coldest of the season as the temperature was 34 degrees below zero but on Feb. 27 it was only 26 degrees below zero. This was quickly followed by rising temperature with a thaw setting in, followed by three days of rain which settled the snow by half. The Schroon and Hudson rivers at Warrensburgh are contributing their full share to the floods that are doing serious damage at Troy, Albany and other places along the lower Hudson but the river here has not yet performed any notable feats. The Hudson and Mohawk rivers rose from 12 to 18 feet in the 24 hours ending March 1, 1910 and many villages in the state were flooded. The high water greatly interfered with railroad traffic. The ice broke up at Riverside on March 1, 1909 and a big ice jam was formed about three miles above Thurman Station.

He leaves a widow, six sons and three daughters, Jay, Elmer, Robert, Morgan Jr., Ralph, Lafayette, Helen, Angelina and Anna Pasco. He was buried at the Pasco Cemetery in South Johnsburgh.

Despondent man ends his life Alexander Glassbrook, 45, an Adirondack guide and caretaker who resided at Little Woodhull Lake near McKeever, Herkimer County, shot and killed himself on Friday, Feb. 18, 1910. Ill with the grippe, he was despondent and melancholy. The deceased was a former resident of Stony Creek and is survived by a widow and one son, Schuyler Glassbrook. Internment was in the Glassbrook Cemetery, Stony Creek.

Lake George expects prosperity

This past winter, Floral Hall and several cattle sheds on the Warrensburgh Fairgrounds collapsed due to the great weight of the snow. The lower farm barn on the Cunningham estate suffered the same fate. We had only 99 days of sleighing this winter and an aggregate snowfall of 7 feet and eight inches. Already townspeople are harking back 22 years to the great blizzard of 1888, which occurred on March 12. We could yet eclipse that record. If next summer is as oldfashioned as this winter has been, there will indeed be a hot time in the old town of Warrensburgh.

The residents of Lake George are expecting one of the busiest seasons the town has ever enjoyed. With the prospective rebuilding of the Fort William Henry Hotel, which was destroyed by fire last summer, and the construction of the new road, there will be plenty of work for everyone this coming summer. The Delaware and Hudson Railroad is building a unique dock at Lake George which will permit boats being launched directly from the train cars into the water. A gang of men has laid tracks on the ice and when the ice melts in the spring the rails will sink into the lake. A train car can than be backed into the water until it is deep enough for a boat to float from it, thereby saving considerable time and expense. It is estimated that about 30 new boats are brought to Lake George each year.

Poor families suffer, some snowbound

Howe brothers hospitalized

Mother Nature’s wrath

The present winter has been a trying one on some impoverished families of Warrensburgh. John J. Archer, Poormaster, has been helping about a dozen families to get through and he reports several sad cases of destitution, two in particular, and both living on the outskirts of town where they have been literally snowbound and were found by the Poormaster in a condition of dire need, incapable of self-support on account of sickness. John Archer has done what he could, and for the present the pitiable creatures are looked after with humane care. In this undertaking he has received warm-hearted support from the citizens who have contributed liberally to these suffering souls, brought low through force of circumstances over which they have no control. It is gratifying to live in a Christian community like Warrensburgh.

Prominent resident dead Morgan Pasco, 56, a well known resident of The Glen, died at his home Feb. 26, 1910 at 8 a.m. Death was caused the rupture of a blood vessel in his lungs. He has been in poor health for some time, suffering from creeping paralysis which rendered him helpless.

James Howe, while driving to the village of Luzerne, was taken with a violent bleeding from his head. He was taken to the home of his son, Otis Howe and Dr. J.J. Montgomery was called and he pronounced the problem to be a hemorrhage of the head. Finally the flow of blood was stopped leaving Mr. Howe very weak. He was taken to Glens Falls Hospital. His brother, James Howe was in the hospital at the same time for yet another serious ailment. They were both released within a few days.

Killed by a train Harlon Lee Bennett, 23, formerly of North Creek and for the last four months a resident of Mechanicville, was found dead near the tracks at the Boston & Maine roundhouse there. He was cut, bruised and his spine was fractured. The deceased had been breaking in as a fireman on the Boston & Maine railroad. Just what train struck him is not known. The body was discovered by an engineman and it was taken to H.B. Mace’s undertaking rooms. The boy’s father, in North Creek, was notified.

Trolley employee’s face burned William Birch of Schuylerville, a motorman on the local Hudson Valley trolley line that runs through Warrensburgh was seriously burned while repairing his trolley car. While underneath the vehicle a short circuit caused a fuse to blow out and Birch was badly burned on the face and mouth. He was carried to his home where a physician attended him. Birch will have to be fed through a straw for quite some time.

New Lake George Mirror publisher The Lake George Printing Co. of Lake George was incorporated Friday, Feb. 25, 1910 to publish the Lake George Mirror newspaper. The capital is $5,000 and the directors are George Foster Peabody, Edwin J. Worden and D.S. Sanford, all of Lake George. The management of the paper, with Edward A. Knight as editor, will remain the same, but there will be increased efforts to promote all of Lake George.

News roundabout Sandy Hill is agog over the proposed change of its name to Hudson Falls and the matter will be decided March 15, 1909 at the polls. School No. 12 in Pottersville was closed March 1, 1910 on account of bad roads due to the weather. In Bakers Mills, the village school is being taught this year by Miss Julia Brady of Corinth. Frank Allen moved into the house he recently purchased from John Robbins. S.W. Brooks, the moving picture man, exhibited pictures of Bakers Mills to a good-sized audience. A little son was born at the Leslie Carpenter house in The Glen. The funeral of William A. Ross, 42, of Wevertown was held at the Johnsburgh Methodist Church Feb. 26, 1910. He leaves a widow and four small children. Burial was in the Bates Cemetery. While unharnessing his horse, Henry Hayes of Adirondack nearly had his arm broken by the animal crowding him and bending his arm backward. He is not yet able to use it. Lake George will be represented during the coming season by one of the fastest baseball teams ever organized there. The team will be managed by George and Alfred Solomon who are well known by baseball fans. The state Senate has passed the bill of Senator James Emerson of Warrensburgh, providing for an appropriation of $1,500 for the erection of a suitable iron fence around the monument erected by the Society of Colonial Wars on the Lake George battleground and other improvements. We are looking forward to “sugar snows” and a robin or two in our back yards. Readers are welcome to contact Adirondack Journal correspondent Jean Hadden at jhadden1@nycap.rr.com or 623-2210

Let’s halt the destruction of our town’s heritage

Engagements

To the editor: I have read and heard a lot about the Historical Preservation Society’s attempts to save the architectural landscape of our Main Street business district. I am in favor of preserving the community and its landmarks as long as it doesn’t arrest the economic development or level any more historical sites. It occurs to me that the answer to the Stewart’s development plans would best take place on the Hudson Headwaters lot on Stewart Farrar Ave. as opposed to destroying another landmark such as Potter ’s Diner. I have also listened to the long time natives of our town tell stories of Potter ’s Diner ’s past and what that diner meant to the community as they grew up. My wife’s family has deep roots in this community and now that we have purchased her family’s two-generation home for our young and growing family, I also have strong ties to Warrensburg. I agree that Potters is greatly dilapidated and that Stewart’s new Lake George store is a great improvement over the old facility and would be a welcome improvement to Stewart’s existing store in Warrensburg. However. destroying another landmark like Potter ’s Diner is not the correct decision — nor would it bring back the landmark, the historic Cunningham House, that was torn down years ago. The logical site for the new Stewart’s is the vacant lot on the corner of Stewart Farrar Ave. and Main St. I don’t believe this facility will be out of place across the street from the Grand Union plaza and if it is laid out as it was proposed, the front of the Stewart’s Shop would face the other businesses shielding what residential properties exist in the area and will relieve the congestion and parking issues that Stewart’s customers currently endure. If this lot continues as an un-utilized dirt field, it is more of an eyesore than a clean, well-kept facility. Unfortunately, at the present time the town of Warrensburg doesn’t have the resources at the level of Lake Placid and other high-profile communities in the Adirondacks, but perhaps by renovating the existing structures as apposed to tearing them down, Warrensburg can achieve this level of architecture. Instead of clearing a landmark to build a Stewart’s, we should consider utilizing our unsightly vacant lots and renovating our unpolished gems for the good of the community and its citizens.

CHESTER • ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 7

Madden recognized for character and academics CHESTERTOWN — Renee Madden, a senior at North Warren Central School, has been named Student of the Month by the Chestertown Rotary Club. The daughter of Dianne and Gary Madden of Brant Lake, Amanda is considered by teachers and peers to excel in the areas of academics, athletics, artistic pursuits and character, according to school counselor Michael Therio and Rotarian David Schlansker. “Renee is known as an incredibly selfless and compassionate young woman who has the drive and ability to help others,” Therio said. “She is an articulate and accomplished student and has exceptional character, a great sense of humor and a natural ability to put others at ease.” Therio said Renee is an integral part of the school’s Varsity Field Hockey team, as well as a significant contributor to the Senior Band and Chorus. Her talents in music have earned her recognition for three years in All-County Chorus. In addition, her choreography and video production skills have been utilized in Senior Band presentations to provide a new expressive element. Renee’s acting, dance and production talents have graced the stage in school musical productions of No-No-Nanette, Oklahoma, and Anything Goes, Therio said. Renee has also provided backstage support in productions of school variety shows. Her love of dance is further evident in her work teaching children dance steps, he said. Therio also praised Renee’s character. “She is a caring individual who truly exhibits a heart of kindness and compassion,” he said, noting her charitable tendencies. “She can always provide humor and a lighthearted outlook towards life and circumstances.” Selected by her classmates, Renee serves on a panel at North Warren to integrate the Rachel’s Challenge initiatives for kindness and compassion as part of the school’s character education program. Finding enjoyment in helping others, Renee has volun-

She is also an accomplished student of broadcast journalism, Therio said, noting she created a professional quality documentary of her church’s project providing post-Katrina relief. Skilled in documentary work, Renee plans to pursue this field of study in college. “We of the Chestertown Rotary Club are happy to join with the staff of North Warren High School to recognize the achievements, character and talents of Renee Madden,” Schlansker said.

Town to consider hosting new football field By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com

WARRENSBURG — For decades, Warrensburg high school football coaches had witnessed local boys at a substantial disadvantage when it came to football skills, as opponents from other towns had developed gridiron skills at a far younger age. Eight years ago, the Warrensburg Youth Football program was launched, and local children are now competitive in the sport. Boys signing up for the Warrensburg High School football program are now bringing with them valuable experience and skills from years of practice and play, local football enthusiasts say. Now, the community-based gridiron group, which sponsors three teams that are quite competitive in the Adirondack Youth Football League, would like to take their mission a step further. They’d like to construct a football field on the town recre-

ation field as a home base for their program. The idea has been kicked around for years, but it was formally presented recently to the Warrensburg Town Board. The town board will be meeting at 4 p.m. March 1 to discuss the concept. Mike Irish, a coach of the gridiron group, said that borrowing fields from the school for the youth league play is often difficult, because his teams’ practice and game schedules conflict with the schedules of the school-based teams. Irish and other members of the group would like to see a town football field developed just west of the existing upper baseball fields, on a lower undeveloped field behind town water department facilities on Library Ave. Last year, a group of Lake George citizens worked together to construct a youth-league football field on the side of Prospect Mountain — a field so professional that a collegelevel team would be proud to play there. Warrensburg might be able to accomplish a similar feat, Irish said Thursday. “Using the other fields, including the town baseball fields

would be a tight squeeze,” Irish said. “When we play all the other town teams, they use their own facilities — we’d like to have something permanent too.” Permanent goal posts, scoreboard and bleachers would be a considerable boost to the youth football program, he said, noting that local youth football coaches have been considering these concepts for years. Monday, Kim Monthony, who is head of the local baseball/softball organization, which sponsors the youth football teams and their league play, hailed the substantial community support for the football program. He observed that no less than 11 coaches are involved. “We started out years ago losing almost all our games, and now our teams are winning half their games or more,” he said. Mike Curtis volunteer high school football coach, said the training at the younger age has substantial rewards for high school players. “This youth program helps us substantially on the upper levels,” he said.

Skiers From page 1 building muscles in the Academy’s weight rooms, Beck said. “My schedule is very, very intense,” he said. “There’s no free time or television for me during ski season.” Griffen, 19, son of Susan Griffen of Chestertown, experienced the same daunting regimen for three years at the National Sports Academy up through spring 2008. He’s finished with high school, and now training with the Sports Academy team, aiming for the Olympics. Griffen graduated from North Warren High School in 2008, but during the winter months in grades 10 through 12, he was at the National Sports Academy, living in their dorms and studying North Warren curriculum in the Academy’s classrooms — combining academics with dozens of hours per week careening down the slopes. Despite the demands of the schedule, Beck has maintained honor roll status, as Griffen did when he was at the Academy. Recently, the two have been competing in major races in Vermont, Canada, New Hampshire and Maine. Two weeks ago, Beck was at Sugarloaf in Maine, where he was clocked at 77 miles per hour. Last week, he raced at Bristol Mountain, coming in second place among 80 competitors in Slalom and Super G events, qualifying for the Eastern Cup Final%s coming up this week at Okemo. He’s skied in about 20 major races so far this year, expecting to tally 30 total. Griffen has skied with similar success, and he has also qualified for the prestigious Eastern Cup. During the Vancouver Winter Olympics, Beck, Griffen and 80 or so other athletes at the Academy have been watching about a dozen NSA alumni including Andrew Wibrecht, who won a bronze medal in the Super G competition. Other National Sports Academy athletes competing in Vancouver include biathlete Haley Johnson, skier Bill De-

mong, luger Chris Madzer, and Ski Jumper Nick Alexander. Griffen said Monday he’d like to follow in their path. “Competing in the Olympics is a goal of a lot of skiers,” he said. “It’s a hard goal to attain, but it’s definitely in my sights.” Beck is looking at that possibility long-term, but in the meantime, his objective is to compete on a Division I college ski team. He’s headed to St. Lawrence University this fall, on partial scholarship, to achieve this aim. Academically, Beck plans to concentrate on civil engineering studies. The atmosphere there is likely to be different. At the National Sports Academy, the intense schedule includes monitored study periods at night, and “lights out” at 10:45 p.m. Both Beck and Griffen started skiing at Gore Mountain, Beck beginning at age 6, Griffen at age 4 or 5, spending some time at Chestertown’s modest Dynamite Hill in the early years. Beck won a New York State Championship when he was 10, plus he won a top racing title in the Empire State Games. Griffen has won medals in races all over the Northeast, and he placed in various races at the J2 Nationals in Oregon three years ago. Griffen is now looking forward to racing in the North American Cup Races, while he’s earning points toward the U.S. Nationals, set for March 20-23 at Whiteface Mountain. He said he’s aiming to compete in several slaloms, Super G, Downhill and Super Combined races. Griffen said he’s also pursuing academics. He was recently accepted at Montana State University in Bozeman, and plans to enroll for the fall semester and ski race there this next winter. “I’m really excited to get out there and see how things go,” he said. Beck showed similar enthusiasm for his skiing. “I just love skiing, and it’s fun to have a passion for something like this,” he said. “I only have one life to live.”

cutting ceremony. An hour earlier, however, Warrensburg’s Main Street was already lined with vehicles of those attending. Folks waited outside the Oscar ’s new building, chatting, with Jerry Quintal occasionally showing his face — complete with a gag pig nose — out the front door to elicit giggles from children. At about 9 a.m., the 15 or so employees of Oscar ’s emerged from the front door, and welcomed community leaders, who gathered behind a ceremonial ribbon. Jerry’s son Joq Quintal, the heir apparent of Oscar ’s, read a brief history of the enterprise’s rebound, thanking the community and the politicians for their support. Of special note were state Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward and state Sen. Betty Little, who helped arrange Minutes before the official opening of Oscar’s Smoke House Satfinancing and grant funding urday, firm owner Jerry Quintal dons a pig nose and startles for Oscar ’s new geo-thermal youngsters Jereck Quintal, Julia Quintal and Daniel Decker. heating and cooling system, Photo by John Lustyik which is expected to save on utility costs as well as reduce the firm’s environmental impact. Joq Quintal also thanked the contractors for their work, including Mike Eddy for his interior work and Tom Beadnell for his trim and custom carpentry — and both Beadnell and Eddy, who are from Thurman, for their stonework. Quintal also praised the Warrensburg Volunteer Fire Co. for their response at the Sept. 4 fire. A portrait of Jerry Quintal was unveiled, evoking tears from the painting’s subject, the man who decades ago took over the business from his father Oscar Quintal and expanded the business’s reach via the Internet and mail order. The painting was created by Mariana Gibaldi of Queensbury, daughter of the noted Adirondack guide Paul Gibaldi. The formal ceremony concluded, and the doors to Oscar ’s were opened — The public then flooded the newly expanded retail store that stands in the forefront of the meat processing plant that produces specialty products for customers across the globe. A while later, Little not only hailed the return of Oscar ’s but she chatted with Oscar ’s employees and bought a great deal of their products. Holding packages of sausage, kielbasas and ham, Little commented on how the enterprise was a regional landmark. “Whenever ever I say, ‘I was up in Warrensburg,’ they reply, “Oh yes, that’s where Oscar ’s Smokehouse is!” Fred Monroe, who made the first purchase at the new store Saturday, said he was happy that the Quintals decided to rebuild, as they are a major player in the economy of northern Warren County. “It’s wonderful to see such a truly great business stay and flourish in the Adirondacks,” he said. Warrensburg Town Board member Austin Markey watched the flurry of activity in the new building. “It’s good to see my old friend up and running again,” he said. Adirondack activist Ted Galusha said he was impressed that a Warrensburg business enjoyed such success and national notoriety. “I am proud of Jerry — because he stuck it out through thick and thin and came up victorious,” Galusha said. Sunday, victory was apparent in the empty product cases. Oscar ’s was sold out of jerky, smoked turkey breast and gourmet mustard. They were low on virtually all their 150 products, and early this week, the smokers were working overtime to restock the depleted inventory. Oscar ’s workers held up to the strain, but apparently some of the equipment did not. Jerry Quintal said Monday his sausage stuffer “blew up” and a meat-cutting band saw burned up. “We’ve been busy,” he quipped. Journal Correspondent Jean Hadden contributed to this report.

Budget cuts/APA embroil the Adirondacks

orth Country residents beware — there’s a new lumberjack in town and he’s making cuts that threaten to decimate numerous Adirondack livelihoods and forever alter the traditions of the North Woods. An ax swinging, accidental, New York state governor is currently chopping away at the state budget with such reckless abandon that he is likely to clear-cut a forest composed of small, tight knit communities that are struggling to survive throughout the region. Last year, the mighty, Black Jack attempted similarly cruel cuts when he attempted to balance the state budget by repealing a 123-year-old law which guarantees the state of New York will pay full property taxes on several million acres of ‘forever wild’ forest preserve lands and the numerous conservation easements owned by the state. His nonsensical efforts finally ended when an unlikely alliance of environmental groups and local government officials working together to successfully oppose his plan. Their unique partnership proved that when the chips are down on a forest floor, the Common Ground Alliance of the Adirondacks actually has some clout. The Common Ground’s goal is to discover ways to improve the economic viability of Adirondack communities while conserving the environment in ways both environmental groups and local government officials can support. Regrettably, a key tenet of the Alliance's effort is to foster economic growth through the development of a snowmobile trail system of community connector corridors. Although many of the connector trails already exist, the effort was stymied when an advocacy group threatened to sue the state over a proposal to widen the trails to permit grooming. Groomed trails are safer, however groomers require at least a 12-foot width. Alliances can only function effectively when all of the groups are willing to cooperate, for the benefit of the whole. The threat of suits serves to fracture relationships that are based on trust and good will. Sadly, such tactics serve to further exasperate the lingering ‘us vs. them’ syndrome that so commonly muddles Adirondack discussions. In light of the state’s current financial malaise, it is imperative that all facets of Adirondack business, sporting, environmental and political communities work together toward a shared goal. Quite simply, the region lacks the numbers necessary to wield any effective political power; we have no clout! But, we do have a vast, wild and beautiful land, that we all must learn to share and use wisely. Unfortunately, it appears that the Harlem lumberman who now occupies the governor ’s mansion believes the

North Woods begin at the Yonkers’ county line and all locations north of that suburban border are considered fair game in his annual, big money, budget hunt. Last year, after finally accepting the fact that taxes on state property must be paid by law, the shortsighted ax-bearer determined that all prison camps and wilderness therapy programs in the North Country were no longer effective. He declared that the facilities should all be shuttered. However, when informed that one of the prison camps slated for closure was located in a Democratic district, it was determined that the single facility was absolutely essential to the department’s mission. The other camps fell to the budget ax and one lone camp was spared, offering proof that voter ’s count, especially when they are registered with the governor ’s own party. Facing a much tougher budget this year, the lumberjack has continued to focus on clear cutting the deadwood from the deep forests of the Department of Corrections. Again, three out of the four facilities currently proposed for closure are located in the North Country. The facilities in Ogdensburg, Lyon Mountain and Moriah actually facilitate corrections among the resident felons; the facilities are more than simple human warehouses. Their inmates provide untold, community services from clearing ice storm damage to sandbagging to protect from flooding and more. Inmates learn responsibility, hard work and the value of community. In the minds of those in Albany, these must be considered very dangerous values for parolees to bring back to the city after their release. While the region rallies to fight these scheduled cuts, the lumbering governor has focused his budget blade to hack away at the only viable industry left in the region. He has attacked the tourism industry! The governor has proposed shuttering historic sites in Lake Placid and Crown Point, closing the Adirondack Park Agency’s Visitor Interpretive Centers in Newcomb and Paul Smiths and abandoning two, new I Love New York Gateway Welcome Centers located at rest areas on the Northway. The Beekmantown Welcome Center also serves as the main office for the Adirondack Regional Tourism Council, the only central office in the whole region. Should Adirondack towns now begin rolling up their sidewalks? Is there an easier method to clear the land? Maybe the state can figure out some method to further

SATURDAY February 27, 2010 hack away at our society. If communities cannot be removed by means of economic depredation and social devastation, maybe it’s time to remove our revered iconic structures. They could rid the place of the landmarks that define the region, take down the historic firetowers, ban the floatplanes, close the old roads, create non-motorized, Quiet Waters and make ‘cookie cutters’ out of the architecturally significant, rustic boathouses that grace our lakeshores. Currently, the Adirondack Park Agency has proposed to make all boathouses look and measure the same, like the silly, synthetic Frankenpine cell towers. The Park Agency has been under fire in recent months following a series of miscues that included efforts to include the lands, waters and lake bottom of the manmade Lows Lake as a wilderness area. The agency has also taken heat for alleged collusion between agency staffers and environmental groups that had been seeking enforcement of shoreline restrictions on Silver Lake. An exchange of emails and phone messages between an APA lawyer and a local attorney was exposed in the press. A similar exchange between an Agency lawyer and Sandy Lewis, an organic farmer in Essex, played out on a web forum. After the agency lawyer referred to Mr. Lewis in derogatory terms on a web post, he was reprimanded and reassigned. Lewis, who won a court battle against the agency over the development of housing on his property for farm workers, will recover over $200,000 in court fees and expenses. Sadly, the total cost of recent enforcement efforts and their related court fees could have been better utilized to fund the agency’s Visitors Centers for nearly a full year. Enforcement efforts by the agency against Sandy Lewis in Essex, Leroy Douglas in Silver Lake and John Mayes, a retired Forest Ranger in Black Brook have certainly given the agency a black eye and stirred up local resentment to levels that haven’t been matched since the troubles of ’92. Controversy continues with the nomination of Peter Hornbeck, a boat builder and businessman, to the APA Board of Commissioners. Hornbeck, best known for his popular Lost Pond boats, is also a former director and board member of the Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks, a high profile, environmental advocacy group that has been involved in numerous heated battles over the years. Hornbeck has been nominated to fill the seat of Arthur Lussi, a Lake Placid businessman who was appointed by Gov. George Pataki. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook.

he Thurman community has planned a public potluck luncheon for Saturday March 6 at the Thurman Baptist Church to honor Elmer and Myrtle Buyce. The event, set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., is intended to demonstrate the community’s appreciation for all that this couple has done for both the church and the community over many years. Friends and family of the couple are invited to stop by any time during the affair and share food and fellowship with the Buyces. Elmer grew up and worked in Thurman all his life, and courted Myrtle Putnam, whose parents had moved to Thurman. The two married in October 1968 and

made their home in Elmer's family home on Buyce Rd., living until 1999 without electricity. The Buyces have been very active in Thurman Baptist Church and other community organizations, and have hosted many beneficial community activities on their property. All in the community are invited to bring a food dish and join the March 6 event, or just stop in and greet the Buyces. For details, call Joan Harris at 623-2007.

Filomena Riviello, Thurman Town Justice, and Tonya Springer, Thurman Court Clerk, have returned to town after spending a few days in New York City at the Association of Towns training sessions held during Presidents week. Has anyone seen a long hair brown dachshund that has wondered away from her Athol Rd. home? She has been gone since Feb. 10 and is two years old. Any information would be appreciated. If you have any clue concerning the dog’s whereabouts, call 623-2472. Are there still Stanley home product parties in the area? Call 623-2580 if you know of any.

Contrary to a rumor circulating in town, it is not true that there are three wide-screen televisions at the school bus garage. In fact, the school board voted to disconnect a cable television outlet in the school bus garage’s employee break room. A few callers this week said they supported a sensible 2010-11 budget that contains taxes.

What’s the latest newfangled invention that pleases older men? Well, a recent acquisition by a local guy offers a clue. Maurice Combs received a nice Christmas gift which he named Rosie and he apparently loves her, because he often shows her off proudly to friends and neighbors. His new “woman” cleans so well but cannot do the dishes. For those of you who have not been introduced to her, she is a robotic vacuum cleaner. So Maurice, send us a picture of Rosie, we want to see her! Property tax exemption forms must be submitted to the town assessors office by the March 1 deadline. This applies to the STAR exemptions as well as the ones for the veterans,and senior citizens. If you need help with filling out the forms, stop by

Schroon celebration seeking donors SCHROON LAKE — The annual Schroon Lake Fourth of July celebration needs help. The annual event, which features a parade, fireworks and a series of community events, is short of money, according to event chair Kate Huston. She said last week that the state of the economy has curtailed the normal level of donations, and additional money is needed. “Schroon Lake is known for its ability to put on a wonderful Fourth of July celebration that attracts thousands of visitors,” she said, noting that the event is well-known regionally for offering family activities, rides, a parade, vendors and live entertainment including folk artists and rock bands. “This year, the Fourth of July fund needs your help,” she said.“We desperately need early donations this year to assist in getting started. “ She said that financial support from businesses and individuals provides for quality entertainment and a parade that is among the best in the Adirondacks. She added that donations of any amount would be appreciated. The celebration this year will be held Saturday July 3. Donors can make checks payable to Fourth of July Parade Fund and mail them to P.O. Box 614, Schroon Lake 12870.

ADIRONDACK JOURNAL - 15

Winter meant hardship, fun in bygone days By Evie Russell denpubs@denpubs.com THURMAN — Now that we’re in the depths of winter — with cold, snowy, windy weather — it reminds me of the good old days. But were they so good? Back in those olden days, not too long ago up here in Thurman, the wood stoves would die out before the night is over, and you’d wake up to a cold house. When that occurred, if nature called at night the toilet seat felt so cold for those who had modern indoor plumbing, and for most residents who had outside facilities, the trek to the outhouse would provide a memorable expedition. We’d put on boots, coats, hats and mittens, run down that long snowy path to the outhouse with two holes cut in the seat. Many times you had to kick the door open as snowdrifts came in through the cracks in the outer walls, and a mound of the cold white powder was oftentimes deposited on the seat too. The old issue of the Sears and Roebuck catalog was likely also covered in snow, but its pages still served their purpose as toilet tissue. Yes, those were the good old days. After your duty was done and you had kicked snow out of the way to be able to shut the door, you would rush up the path, onto the porch, then on into the warm kitchen. If it wasn’t breakfast time yet and mom

wasn’t cookin’ in front of the big old kitchen woodstove, you could pull up a chair and put your cold feet up on the open oven door. Most all of the local homes were banked with sawdust or hay to minimize the cold drafts at floor level. But the linoleum or bare wood floors were still very cold on bare feet. No one went barefoot in their home in winter months. After a savory, hot breakfast of oatmeal or cornmeal mush with toast, the latter made over the kitchen stove in a hand-held wire toaster, we kids would want to go outside to play. There were so many fun things to do in the winter: build snowmen, make snow-forts, go snowshoeing, or riding down hills on sleds. But first after we got bundled up in our warm clothes, there were chickens to feed, eggs to gather, and a pail of water to be brought up from the well. We also carried in wood for the fires if the wood box was low — Only then we could play. The bundling-up process to go outside took plenty of time, first the long johns, then long cotton stockings with wool socks to the knees or over them, then the lined winter snowpants, the shoes and boots, a heavy sweater, a coat, mittens, hat and scarf. With all these clothes on, one could barely move about. When we got freezing cold, we’d go in to warm up again and to get dry mittens. Our boots were then called “over shoes” because they did go over shoes. The boots had

Winter activities in the olden days included friendly snowball fights, as depicted in this photo which looks north on Elm St. in Warrensburg across from about where Richards Library would be built. The big barns in the distance I believe were part of the Griffin property, now hosting the Griffin House Bed & Breakfast and Grace’s Restaurant.

buckles to fasten them shut. This is how we had to dress every school morning to walk the mile or more to the oneroom school house. If the wind was blowing we could pull the scarf up over our mouth and nose, leaving just our eyes exposed. By the time we arrived at school, the teacher

had the huge circular woodstove throwing off heat to warm us up. Looking back at these cold days would anyone want to revisit the good old days? Remember, there were no “heat tapes” to go around the two holer seat!

APA approves use of herbicide to control milfoil Fire destroys home in Minerva By Jonathan Alexander denpubs@denpubs.com RAY BROOK — In what’s being called a precedent-setting move, the Adirondack Park Agency approved a project that allows the use of a chemical herbicide in an Adirondack lake for the first time. With the agency’s blessing, the town of Lake Luzerne will be permitted to use up to 1,560 pounds of the herbicide Renovate OTF to combat a widespread infestation of the lakeweed Eurasian Milfoil in the southern part of Lake Luzerne. Chemical means of combating invasive plants have never been allowed before in waterways within the Adirondack Park. The significance of this unanimous decision by the Park Agency’s Board of Commissioners was not lost on board member Frank Mezzano. “This could be the equivalent of the first cell tower in the Adirondacks — In other words, we will be seeing more of it because it’s (milfoil) a serious problem,” Mezzano said. “And if it’s a good solution, that’s good for everybody.” For decades, environmentalists have been divided on whether herbicides should be used, with the ones opposing chemicals winning out in debates and court fights. Adirondack Council executive director Brian Houseal said last week that although the his group isn’t totally against the practice of using chemicals to fight invasives, it is keeping a close eye on how carefully the process is being conducted. “We are concerned that this could be a precedent for the park. Water is one of our most precious resources,” Houseal said. “We should be careful about chemicals and be sure that all the conditions are clear in this project so it can be used as a guide in the future.” Houseal said that issues of water quality head up the council’s list of concerns and that using chemicals in the park’s lakes must be done properly. The council is also concerned about the potential impact

that Renovate OTF could have on non-target plants, especially the vulnerable Freshwater Marigold species. A member of the Triclopyr acid family of herbicide, Renovate OTF is specifically designed to target broad-leaved dicotic plants. A cousin to Eurasian milfoil, the Freshwater Marigold is threatened by the chemical. An APA staff analysis concluded that of the 33 known indigenous plant species in Lake Luzerne, eight are dicotic and could suffer from the application if it is not properly conducted. APA aquatic biologist Ed Sniznek said that in order to combat these pitfalls, the application would take place in mid-May, when the indigenous plants have yet to sprout. Eurasian milfoil, he said, is an opportunistic plant and tends to begin growing well before the other species. Sniznek said he was aware of the potential impact of this new shift in policy on behalf of the APA towards the use of herbicides. “This project could serve as a model for the lakes in the Adirondacks,” he said. The 11-acre treatment area is only about 10 percent of the total area of the lake. The agency is requiring the town and its consultant to construct a temporary sequestration wall to keep the herbicide from spreading to other areas of the lake. The concentration levels of the herbicide will be monitored within and outside of the treatment area, he said. Over the last three years, the town has spent $49,500 on more traditional methods of combating milfoil, like handpicking and matting. But it has only been able to effectively fight the plant in 3.75 acres with these efforts. In contrast, town officials said the one-time Renovate OTF application is expected cost between $15,000 and $20,000, and it is expected to control milfoil over nearly triple the area as with traditional methods. Several years ago, the APA denied an application to use Sonar, a chemical proven to kill milfoil, in the shallow bays of Lake George.

Dinner Theatre to host comedy depicting modern marriage LAKE GEORGE — The Lake George Dinner Theatre celebrates its 43rd season this summer with the regional premiere of Our Son’s Wedding, a new comedy by Donna de Matteo. The production will run from June 30 through Oct. 14 at the newly renovated Holiday Inn Resort in Lake George. In the play, sparks fly as an ItalianAmerican plumber and his strongwilled wife check into Boston's RitzCarlton Hotel on the occasion of their son's marriage to another man, according to Terry Rabine, Producer of the Lake George Dinner Theatre. “In the hilarious antics preparing to attend the wedding, Mom and Dad discover as much about their own marriage as they do about the relationship with their son, while coming to terms with a love that transcends tradition,” Rabine said. “Our Son’s Wedding is a timely, 'laugh-out-loud,' poignant new play.” The production features Paul D’Amato, whose portrayal of “Dr. Hook” Mc-

Cracken alongside Paul Newman in the film Slapshot has earned him cult status among sports film fans. D’Amato’s film credits also include The Deer Hunter and FX. Co-starring in Our Son’s wedding is Marina Re, who returns to Lake George after her acclaimed performance as Molly in last season’s hit, Old Love. The production will be directed by Rabine.

Six fire departments on scene By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com MINERVA — A structure fire was called in to the Minerva Volunteer Fire Department at around 9:50 p.m. Sunday evening. A three story home on Morse Memorial Highway in Minerva was already fully involved at the time of the the call. The home was unoccupied and is owned by Elmer Lynn, who is currently residing at the Tri-County Nursing Home in North Creek. The fire was spotted by a driver passing by and was called in from a neighbor ’s home. Minerva Fire Department was dispatched and then summoned departments from North Creek, Pottersville, Chestertown, Wevertown and Schroon Lake for assistance. Both North River and Newcomb departments were also standing by at the North Creek and Minerva stations. “The entire house was completely engulfed by the time we got there,” said North Creek fire chief Steve Studnicky. “All we could really do was control it.” Firefighters worked on the blaze until around 2:30 a.m., according to Minerva fire chief Kerry Killon. By the time the fire was extinguished, the whole building had been lost. Investigators are still surveying the scene and have not released a definite cause at this time. It is suspected, however, that the cause of the fire was electrical, according to Killon. “There was no one living there and the heat was not turned on, so electrical is our best guess at this point,” he said. No evidence of arson has been discovered at this time.
